YT Description
📣 Are your “good deeds” secretly about you? 🤔 Charity is everywhere—donations, fundraisers, publicised acts of generosity. But how many of these are truly for God, and how many are for human applause? Jesus makes it clear: giving with the wrong motive turns into hypocrisy, an act on the stage of man’s theatre rather than worship before God. So what really matters in charity—the gift itself, or the heart behind it? What does it mean to give in secret, without even our “left hand knowing what the right hand does”? And what kind of reward are we actually seeking: the fleeting praise of people, or the eternal commendation of our Father in heaven? In this sermon, discover why motives in giving matter to God, how to guard against self-righteousness and showmanship, and what it means to store up heavenly rewards instead of earthly applause.
